The annual semester kickoff event welcomes incoming students with a schedule of workshops for students and parents, fun activities, giveaways, lunch, and a resource fair where SMC departments, clubs and aid organizations set up booths to educate students and parents about campus resources, services and activities. SMC Noncredit team members, Cristina Gutierrez (Noncredit Counselor) and Sam Mehrazar (Administrative Assistant II) greeted students and parents, and shared information and literature on current SMC Noncredit offerings.
